Kathy Ruemmler is toast.
Funny. This board keeps calling Trump a pedo, but it's one democrat after another who keeps getting blasted by this.
How much did Obama know? Why did he employ people who hung out with scum like Epstein?

"Kathy Ruemmler is toast.
Funny. This board keeps calling Trump a pedo, but it's one democrat after another who keeps getting blasted by this." - Dumbass Dope
Once again Dumbass Dope completely misses the point. Democrats found in the Trump-Epstein files with questionable behavior are resigning. However, Republicans found in the Trump-Epstein files are not. For example, Dumbass Dope mentions Kathy Ruemmler, yet he has not said a word about Republican Sec. Howard Lutnick who was just as tied up in the Trump-Epstein mess as Ruemmler was. Dumbass Dope sees this as Democrats bad, Republican good.
Lutnick isn't quitting because there is little pressure from fellow Republicans to quit then there are on Democrats from fellow Democrats. Republicans have no shame from not caring about fellow Republicans being tied up in the Trump-Epstein scandal.
For some reason Dumbass Dope is proud and happy that he and his fellow Republicans are tolerant of pedophiles.
I don't think he realizes that isn't the flex he thinks it is.

But hey, the Dow is at 50k.
In 2016, recognizing God on Earth Trump was the same sort as the honchos that ran most of the companies I worked for into the ground I went all cash. I left a fortune on the table.
This time I stayed in. From Feb of 2025, to now, my stack of big oils, electric utilities, drugs, medical devices, and consumer non-durables, is up 36%.
The old narrative about how the stock market wants stability, is clearly hooey. The market loves chaos and corruption.
All hail Trump the Most Perfect and Brilliant.

seems a hefty amount of unredacted information...on people not named trump.
Bayes suggests that the number of trump mentions increases the probability of many more...redacted.
it seems the MAGA entertainment strategy of throwing non-gop under the bus first is working.
limited attribution weighting and attention span wins again!
